Abstract
The main causes of hypoparathyroidism are unintentional parathyroidectomy and/or impaired blood supply. Therefore, accurate identification and preservation of parathyroid glands in situ during thyroid or parathyroid surgery has become one of the problems that plague endocrine surgeons. In recent years, near-infrared autofluorescence imaging technology has gradually attracted more and more attention from surgeons because of its simplicity, safety, accuracy, real-time, no-contrast agent, and non-invasiveness. This article reviews the development history, clinical application, and application prospects of the parathyroid gland autofluorescence imaging technology in recent years.
